AutoStore has introduced two workstations that prioritize operational efficiency, operator productivity and ergonomics: FusionPort (shown) and FusionPort Staging. The workstations offer advanced integration capabilities to accommodate various automation technology solutions.
FusionPort features two tilted order-picking bin openings and visual picking aids. These features reduce the repetitive movements operators face as they manually transfer inventory from one location to another, while streamlining order picking by providing visual cues with a pick-to-light system for easy item identification. The station additionally includes an enhanced safety hatch that makes the bins accessible only when the port is ready for picking.
FusionPort Staging addresses the space constraints that warehouses face by storing inventory in staging areas. The workstation consolidates order picking and staging to a single port, allowing users to streamline operations and reduce real estate and costs by decreasing the space required for staging. Similar to the FusionPort, the workstation also features visual picking aids and a safety hatch.
